| [Rudaw] Kurdish forces defeated a large band of ISIS fighters who attacked Peshmerga positions on Mount Shingal early on Friday, officials told Rudaw. "About 50 Daesh gunnies attacked Peshmerga bases west of Shingal Mountain. Our forces repelled the gunnies after hours of fighting," said Ibrahim Murad, a Peshmerga officer in the area, using Arabic acronym for ISIS. No causalities were reported on Peshmerga side but, according to Murad, dozens of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... fighters were killed during the battle. Shingal police chief Qassim Sumo confirmed that Kurdish forces with air support from the US-led coalition had forced ISIS to retreat in a counter-attack. In other developments, a bombing attack struck police during a search for ISIS fighters in the Kurdish town of Khanaqin early on Friday, leaving at least four Kurdish officers maimed. |
